A Parishioner.--There are many respectable inhabitants, Doctor, going WA the other side of the street to get out of your clutches.---(Laughter.) Both resolutions were carried unanimously. Mr. YOUNCIM moved, and Mr. Robinson seconded, a resolu tion, which was carried unanimously, that the Bishop being aware of all the circumstances, had agreed that the stipend for St. Bo tolph's, Ilishopsgate (of which the 'Bishop of Chester was Rector) should govern the stipend for the future incumbents of this parish ; and other reeolittions were unanimously passed, to the effect that the stipend for Iliahopegate was much less comparatively than the 1,200/. per ann., offered for the future incumbents of this parish, which offer the Bishop had rejected ; and that they deeply regret ted that their case had not excited the sympathy of the Bishop,who had made this-atatentants in the House of Lords, and had not re turned any answer to the letter sent By the committee, on the 6th of May last, to his Lordship on that subject. Another resolution was passed, strongly, recommending the inhabitants to continue bringing their cave before Parliament, praying that their sufferings might be relieved. Thanks were also voted to the Marquis of Lanadown and Mr. Calcraft for their able anti judicious support of the petitions of the inhabitants. Dr. Owew.—Go on, gentlemen--I am like the auctioneer ; I shall want some wine and water. Thanks were also voted to Mr. T. Saunders, the solicitor of the committee, for . the able, zealous, and experienced profesaional assistance afforded by him. Mr. asurttotati ' in acknowledging the handiome compliment paid him, said, he hoped to live to see the day of the complete and final extinction of the oppressive claim of 2s. Od. in the pound for - tithe. He was a friend of the Church of England, and thought that its honour and security would be best consulted by the ame lioration of io obnoxious an impost.---( Applause. Other resolutions were then passed relative to the .advoirson of the parish. Dr. Owxx.—llave you done now? Mr. Youxota.—No, Sir, I hold in my hand a resolution, that this vestry learn, with deep regret and alarm, that the rector has advised resistance to the parish rates, and that he will not himself pay the poor's rate, in regard of hie enormous tithes; and that, in consequence of such conduct, the churchwardens and overseers have not funds to pay the poor, or provide for the ne cessary expences of the parish. Mr. ROBINAON, the churchwarden, said that all the inhabitants, and particularly the poorer classes, objected to pay their rates, if Dr. Owen was not compelled; and he understood that Dr. Owen bad advised #eeistance. Dr. Owitx—l am ready to pay, if all my parishioners will pay on the profits of their trade. Parishioners—Shocking! Do we not pay on the value of our boom? Mr. liorstm.--Dr. Owen, will you pay my losses? Dr. Owen—l have nothing to do with losses—only with profits. Mr. Balm. (the vestry-elerk)--Dr. Owen has quashed one rate upon a technical objection, and appealed against a second one. Other rectors pay the poor-rates on their tithes. Mr. Youxozu—Dr. Owen's tithes are a tenement, liable to be rated. Mr. Rowat.l.---11e was only rated at 1,100/. per annum, Although he admits he receives 1,8201. Dr. Owxx—You have rated premises in general at nut half their value. The Seed Exchange is worth 1,0001. per annum, And you have rated it ~at. 100/. ; the Gnumercial-sale-rooms are worth bobt., and you haVe rated them at but MI. ; whilst 'a house which lets for 651. you have rated at 141. Mr. BAKE 11. (the vestry clerk)...- . Doctor, you are stating what is not the fact. The assessments are fairly made, and you sane tinned them at the several meetings, until yon were eharged on your own tithes. The premise% are not rated on their rank vain!, neither tau your tithes. Dr. Owttt;—'l know I have sanctioned the rates, but we all know bow those things are done. I did not particularly look into it then. Mr. RYLAND—Then, having acted so improperly yourself, though I believe the rates are correct, it is shameful in you to im pute improper motives to others, and your conduct, as Chairman, ►s highly censurable. Mr. BAULAVG—I think so too.—(Cheers) am I to sit here, and hear myself char get! without answering? I will always fearlessly meet you, and, thank Clod, that after having been here for 40 years,' my parish ioners mu only say their rector looke tolerably well. • p i alshiuner.—Yo, you may look tolerably well; nobody else would have had the nerve to look so well.

This resolution was carried unanimously, and the vestry ad journed CORT)NETt'S INQUEST. Yesterday evening a Coroner's Inquest was held at the John-'o- Groat, Rupert-street, on the body of Thomas R.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. BODMIN, TannAr, Aua. I. The commissions were opened lihre yesterday by Mr. Justice Gaselee alone; Mr. Justice Littledale being de tainea al Exeter by the cause " Rowe v.Brenton." CIVIL 51DE....-WILLS V. ItITCHINS. This was an action to recover damages for the loss sus tained by the plaintiff - in the seduction of his daughter by the defendant, and consequently in the loss of her service. The plaintiff is a small farmer, having several sons and daughters. The 'defendant is a tallow-chandler at St. Austel, in which town the plaintiff's daughter recently carried on the business of a milliner with one of her sisters, paying occasional visits at her father's. The legal case was clearly proved by the daughter, Elizabeth Wells, ap parently about 30 years of age; and although it was em bellished by an able address from Mr. Erskine, for the plain tiff, and by another from. Mr. Sergeant Wilde, for the de fendant, it was very bare of any circumstance of aggrava tion, or of any one fitet which could give it any interest. The former was indeed noticed by the Learned Judge in his charge to the Jury. There was no witness but the daughter herself; and from her-statement it of course appeared that the defendant had not prevailed until he' had promised marriage. She could give no date to the first act of intercourse between herself and the defendant, though she was very specific as to the last, which she fixed to the 4th of June, 1825. It was certainly, she'admitted, a long time since the first act, though she could give no clue whatever to the date. The places were fixed upon with some tolerable certainty ; f for they were the fields round the town of St. Austel: in one of which the de fendant succeeded in his object, after having given (as the witness declared) a solemn promise of marriage. No interruption took place as to these excursions in the fields of St. Anstel until she became pregnant. She informed the defendant of this, and never saw him afterwards. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 801. damages, at which the learned Judge himself showed some surprise; for he asked them "if they said 80/. ?" They replied they did ; and this verdict was of course recorded. HOBBS V. HILL. This was an action, by one inhabitant of the truly inde pendent borough of Fowey, against another inhabitant of the same, to recover 2/. 13s. 3d., the amount of damages done to the plaintiff's windows by the defendant, who broke them, stick in hand ; indignant, as it was sug gested, at some caricature which, it was said, he had seen in the shop-window; and which, it was supposed, re flected either upon himself or his party. But there was no evidence in support of either suggestion or supposi tion; though, of course, the proof, even of both, would have no answer to the action. The plaintiff therefore had a verdict. MAIDSTONE, TuunsuAir, AUG, S. CROWN SIDIS.—FOACIEUY. John Peek alias George Watson, described in the ca lendar as a merchant, who pleaded Guilty yesterday to four several indictments, charging him with having, forged and uttered, in this county, four different bills of exchange, purporting to be respectively drawn by certain foreign houses, and accepted and endorsed by trading firms in this country, having been humanely allowed by the Learned Judge time to consider until this morning, whether he would abide by his plea, or retract it, and take the chances of a trial, was, at the sitting of the Court, placed at the bar, when Mr. Adolphus stated, on his behalf, that since yesterday some friends of the prisoner had arrived in the town, and having adVised him, in so serious a case, to stand an ihves tigation of the various charges against him, he now respect fully claimed .the liberty of availing himself of thnindul gence which the Learned Judge ha 4 so tenderly allowed him permiSsion to seek, if he should be so minded. The prisoner now wished to withdraw his plea of " guilty," and take his trial on the plea of " not guilty." Mr. Andrews and Mr. Brodrick, counsel for the prose cution, said, they had no resistance to offer to the pri- Boners. request; but they were placed in this d i faculty, that in consequence of the prisoner's pertinacious determina- tion, expresied yesterdaY, of abiding by his plea of guilty, the witnesses for the Crown had gone away, and.perhaps it Might be impossible to procure their attendance again, pending the present assizes, in which case there might be a failure of justice. A message could lie sent after the witnesses, and if possible they should be brought back by Saturday morning. If this were found .impracticable, the prisoner must consent that the trial should be postponed until the next assizes. The matter was ordered to stand over for an hour, at the end of which time an affidavit was ,produced, stet- . ing, that one of the most material witnesses far the Crown, a gentleman near eighty years of age, had been taken,sud denly ill on WI way home, and that it was impossible his attendance could be obtained during these sesizes. Under these circumstances, it was moved to postpone the trial until the next gaol delivery. . No objection was offered on the part of the prisoner, and it was accordingly ordered that the trial should stand over until the next winter assizes. MA NSLAUo !ITER. Robert Renton, a person of most respectable appear ance, was placed at the bar for the purpose of being ar raigned on the coroner's charging him, with feloniously killing and slayingßobert 'Beaton, the younger, his son, a child of . tender years, by striking him on the bead with a leather strap, armed with a buckle, at Brom ley, in July last. A bill of indictment had been preferred against him for the same homicide, but it was ignored by the Grand Jury. Before he was put to plead to the in quisition, a conference took place between Mr. Adolphus, for the Crown, and the Learned Judge, as to the sta. ciency of the record. It seemed that the inquisition omitted to state any venue, either in the margin or in the body of the record, and consequently the Learned Judge being of, opinion that this was a fatal objection, directed the inquisition to be quashed. There wa s another objec tion to the inquisition, which would also have been fatal— namely, as to the mode by which the death of the child was stated to have been occasioned. Before the prisoner was removed from the bar, Mr. Adolphus, with the permission of the Learned Judge, said a few words to the jury upon the subject of the lase which had thus so satisfactorily terminated. Some nterest was no • doubt excited in their minds by the na- Lure of the offence, from which the unhappy gentleman at [he bar had been discharged—an offence at which human nature recoiled. As Counsel for tilt prosecution, it would have been his painful duty to state the circumstancts of the case, had not the Learned Judge, with that pAspi cuity for which his mind was so much distinguished, discerned in the outset, a fatal objection to the frame of the record, which had happily spared the jury the misery of at, most melancholy inquiry, and the prisoner the heart-rending recital of a calamity with which, at this mo ment, . his soul was absorbed in unutterable grief. In the determination, of the Learned Judge, upon the objection alluded to, he Most respectfully and heartily .concurred ; and he was happy to state, that a heart-broken parent wiui not doomed to the torture of. baying it made the subject of deliberate inquiry, whether he had pr had not caused the death of his own child. No man could an swer for the efTects of an accident, which had brought upon him so great a calamity as the loss of a child, upon whomhe dilated with parental tenderness. It was due to the gentleman at the bar to say publicly, that by accident i c ilimp h e bad been bereft of the solace—the stay of his de fl J s . tad gone abroad , 11112 " g Years ; that he had lost a promising and beautiful 4P n Y t ' n i )-Idr eirettmstancoi of the greatest affliction.

In consequence of something unfortunate in the structure of the child's head, he received a mortal wound from the buckle, which had the effect of destroying a life, for the preservation of which the wretched parent; ould cheerfully have sacri ficed his own. Upon such an occasion every man must feel the deepest sympathy with the distracted parent. As Counsel for the prosecution, he had felt it his duty to make this statement in the prisoner's favour; and he felt per suaded in his own mind, that if the case were goneinto, the Jury must have been convinced that the death of the child was occasioned by accidental misfortune, and was not attributable to any thing culpable in the parent. Perhaps some apology was due to the Court and Jury for these observations, on an occasion when there was nothing now for their consideration ;• but he hoped that in dismissing the unhappy gentleman from the bar, he might be per mitted to return to the bosom of his disconsolate family, with the persuasion, that at least in the estimation of the public, he had nothing with which to reproach himself in a catastrophe which had occasioned him so much personal misery. Mr. Justice liolroyd concurred with the learned Counsel in thinking, that had the trial proceeded, the result must have been an acquittal, inasmuch as the depositions taken before the Coroner disclosed circumstances inducing a belief that the death of the child was purely accidental.— This view of the case found some confirmation in the fact, that the Grand Jury had thrown out a bill of indictment for manslaughter. The prisoner, who appeared to b e b ro k en d own by in ward anguish and remorse, bowed respectfully to the Court, and was immediately restored to liberty. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. Oxrono, Aunuwe 1.---The election of a new Warden of Merton College took place on Thursday se'unight, when three Fellows of that Society were returned to the Archbishop of Can terbury, in order that his Grace might, according to the statutes of the college, fix on one to supply the pl ace now vacan t by the death of the Dean of Chester.

MANCHESTER, AUGUST 3. (FROM A CORIMPONDINT.) The general opinion here now is, that the crisis of the present embarrassments of the manufacturing interests in this country is over. Within the last few days, two factories have recommenced operations, and othere are expected shortly to follow their example. It is now generally believed, that the meeting of the inhabitants, which was so generally spoken of during the last few weeks, will not take place. The result of an application which was this day made to the Churchwardens, will, in all probability be the last attempt to get' ifp such a meeting. Mr. .1. Potter and Mr. R. Potter waited this morning upon the Churchwardens with the Requisition, a copy of which appeared in your Paper last week. Since that period the number of signatures to it has increased to 123. The numea attached to it are principally manufacturers and tradesmen, and include some respectable persons. In about an hour after the deputation called upon the Churchwardens, the fol lowing answer was sent to the latter : Churchwardens' Office, August 3, 1826.

The Russian Plenipotentiaries at the Congress of Ackermann, arrived there on the 3d, and the conferences with the Turkish Commissioners were to commence on the 13th July.. _ _ It is said the plague has broken out at Rudschuk. A rigorous quarantine has been ordered. The Court of Peers declared yesterday that there was no ground for proceeding against the Military Intendant, Sicard, and the same declaration was made as to M. Ouvrard. A discussion then arose on the question as to whether M. Ouvrard should be sent before the Correc tional Police, for an unaccepted attempt at bribery, or be set at ,liberty. The discussion was postponed until to morrow, when the Court will hear the Procureur de Roi on the subject. They write from Constantinople, under the date of July 3, as follows :—" The Sultan is always on horseback, and continually displays the same firmness. The desire to receive military instruction is as great as ever, and Frenchmen are every where sought for, to instruct the new troops. Constantinople is a kind of camp. Commerce, however, is at a complete stand." TRIESTE, Rix 20.—1 t is now more than three weeks since we received any direct news from the Peloponnesus. The Greeks who are here expect with great impatience the packet from Corfu, hoping by it to receive some in formation respecting the arrival of Lord Cochrane, which was announced as near at hand. On the 14th of July the great tower of the Hotel de Ville, at Lemberg, in Galicia, which was built in .1451, fell, and buried several persons in its ruins. We hare seen a private letter from cpnstantinople, which contains many details of the events which haVe taken place in that capital. It fully confirms the news which we gave. Aga Pacha, who was the hero of the three days, has been made Khan, or*Prince, and ,Gene ralissimo of all the troops of Constantinople and its en virons. His present title is Seraskier Pacha. Eight or ten years ago he was only a simple Janissary. He has raised himself by his courage, his devotion to the Grand Seignior, and his severity towards the Janissaries. ST. PETERSBURGII, July 14.—We are still in expecta tion of the fate reserved for the numerous accomplices in the conspiracy of the month of December. So many fa milies are interested in the result, that it has a general in fluence, so that St. Petersburgh is far from being gay. The Emperor, whose heart participates in the affliction. of the many distinguished persons who are in such cruel per plexity, denies himself every kind of diversion and public show. On the day of his fete the Emperor did not quit Zarskojesalo, or receive on the 15th, which was the Em press's birth-day ; the Court also remained at that resi dence, and there was no reception. On this occasion the Czar appointed her Majesty the Empress Commander of the Regiment of the Noble Guard. She entered on her office in the morning, and'received'at the levee the report of the corps. Since the great Catharine no Einpress has enjoyed the prerogative. This nomination, which has caused much pleasure in the capital, has filled with joy the regiment on which so great a favour has been conferrred. It is affirmed the sentence of the conspirators will be pronounced in a week, and that only five or six will suffer capital punishment, and that the Emperor will commute the punishment of the others who may be capitally con demned. The generosity and delicacy of the Emperor's conduct, under these unhappy circumstances, eau never be too much admired. The following is one instance, among many others; it has caused a great sensation. General Michael Oloff has been condemned to lose his military rank, to keep at a distance from the capital and great towns of the Empire, and to remain a prisoner on his own estates. Being released after this sentence, and accompanied by an officer, appointed to conduct him to his destination, he set out for the interior, avoiding the towns on the road.— Meantime the Emperor was informed that Countess Orloff was at Moxeow ' in expectation of her aecotiehement, and immediately hedespatehed a messenger after the husband, with a permission for him to go to his wife, and remain with her till after her delivery. His unexpected arrival made so agreeable an impression on the Countess, that her delivery proved uncommonly fortunate. , • The departure of the Emperor for Moscow still remains fixed for the end of the month ; but it is still subordinate to the affair of the conspiracy. It was said yesterday that the Coronation would be deferred till the 27th August; but this needs confirmation. While the Grand Duke Michael was at St. Peters burgh, that Prince, who is at the . head of the School of Artillery, desired that the Duke of Ragusa, who com menced his military career in that branch of the science, should visit that fine establishment. He called for him at his hotel in an open chaise, made him sit on his right hand, and drive through the whole city with him. For sonic days past we have had very great heat, which is the more intolerable, as it is accompanied with a thick fog, mingled with smoke, which' hinders us from seeing even the great , buildings at the distance of two hundred paces. This smoke arises from the immense marshy heaths round St. Petershurgh, which have been on fire for some days ; the ground is a turfy bottom, over which is moss several feet in depth, covered with small firs; a crust of saltpetre has formed on the surface. It is not known how these marshes have taken fire, which has spread in. spite of every exertion made to stop it, over an extent of several leigues. From the tops of the buildings in the city, we can see the lines of fire which run along the ground. The combus tion is not accompanied by flames, but emits a very thick and hot smoke which severely affects the eyes. No one remembers any thing of the kind in this neighbourhood. Reaumur's thermometer is always at 23 deg. in the 'shade, and there is not a breath of air. [From the Pilote.l We have now before ui a letter from Madrid, conceived in the following terths :—" It appears that ,the affairs of Portugal are about to give a better turn to those of our own country. M. Recacho is at this moment with the King, who they say is almost determined on adopting a new order of things, convinced by experience, and the wise observations of men who love their country, that in pursuing the present co urse t h ere can be not hi ng f or Spain but misery and desolation. It is said that the French Government, on its part, has spoken frankly to the King on the necessity of giving . to his subjects a Con stitutional Charter, on the same basis with that of France. It is declared in consequence, that the new ministry which is to carry this alteration into effect is already named. M. the Count d'Ofalla is to replace the Duke del Infantado, asMinis ter for Foreign affairs. M. Fernandez del Pine is to suc ceed M. Calomarde, as Minister of Grace and Justice. M.

Thus it has .pleased Mahmoud 11., who cried out in a sort of inspiration, " Kill ! my friends, kill ! Allah knows his own, and he who is not for us is agfunstus." It has not been found necessary to repeat this twice, and it is a pity to see what passes, if one did .not know that those vanquished to-day will do the same thing as soon as they gain the upper hand. These bar barians, besides, are doing jusiice upon themselves, and in that point of view Heaven protects the cause of the Greeks. Would one believe, for example, that the Jants series, who are thrown by detachments of thirty persons upon the coast of Asia, are all killed, if a single one of them does not appear at the call the moment of their em barkation or disembarkation. Thus twenty-nine indivi duals answer with their heads for the escape of a single proscribed person. They even make use of this pretence in order to kill them by sending fewer victims on baud than are inscribed on the teskeret. In the midst of theie bloody orgies it is impossible any longer to conceal the revolts in Adrianople, Silistria, Sophia, Rutschnk, and the Pa' resies on the Danube,where the Janissaries have proelsireed Mahmoud the Second ,to be an apostate, a destroyer of the Religion of the Piaphet, and an enemy to the tree believers. It appears that anathemas are joined to this seditious proclamation, against the Armenian Mnph ti, and that every body runs to arms. Things are still more menacing in Asia Minor, and it appears that the Mollsh Hundgiar of Iconium, Spiritual Chief of all th e Janissa ries of the empire, has declared the Sultan, the Muphti, and their adherents, giaours (infidels), :chutes (heretics), and several other titles of the same sort, so that everywhere there is schism, political and religious, and something still worse, for the glorious empire of Turkey is menaced with a general convulsion. In a few days I shall probably have to announce to you a re-action, for things go on in a %vs)" which will accelerate terrible- events'. The number of executions since the 25th June amounted to more than .5000 in Scutari alone, and the Straits, which make" thousand individuals despatched every day.—Alkh Kerins (God is great.)
